Gorgeous place with lovely staff AND good food! The Banoffee Smoothie Bowl was everything. Iced Matcha was good (would be 10/10 if oat mylk was an alternative!). Scramble egg focaccia was also delicious, and I imagine that an option to swap the focaccia for regular bread would be appreciated (and perfect for days where you don’t feel like the greasy stuff). Will definitely come back to try more things and enjoy the beautiful location!

What to say. As Italian i couldn’t not come here and try the focaccia sandwich, and let me tell you, you do a big mistake if you don’t come here to eat. Focaccia is so light and the stuffing inside is well seasoned and juicy. Yum yum yum, please go here .

I fell in love with this place after trying its chocolate smoothie bowl. The best we tried in the whole island. In 2 weeks I went there 5 times. Also do not miss their foccacias…. They make their own bread.. just SO YUMMY. On top of that, excellent atmosphere, and very nice staff :)
